Filed under College Football, Open thread at August 31st, 2019 - 2:28 am

It’s my favorite time of year! And, yes, The Florida Gators kicked the dog snot out of the Criminal Element Miami last Saturday.

Let’s see if there is any good match-ups early this year…each bet is $100 unless noted

We start with $1000 dollars and see if we can beat the Stock Market. Last season we were 63/107 overall $2250/$1000 for the year.

As i said, if i were betting with real money.. HAHAHAHAHA!!!! Never happen.

Boise State at Florida State – Sat, Aug 31, 12:00 PM ET…Ceasar’s is Giving Boise 6, nope. FSU covers.

Georgia State at Tennessee – Sat, Aug 31, 3:30 PM ET…The Vols ware giving 33 points and I’m NOT TOUCHING IT. NO BET!

Virginia Tech at Boston College – Sat, Aug 31, 4:00 PM ET…VaTech at BC in a great ACC rivalry game, BC is getting 4.5 at home and Va Tech covers.

Incarnate Word at UTSA – Sat, Aug 31, 6:00 PM ET…you wanna bet against GOD! nope. not me, not touching this one either.

#11 Oregon at #16 Auburn – Sat, Aug 31, 7:30 PM ET…Oregon is getting 3 at home. Nope. Auburn covers.

That’s 4 bets to get the ball rolling.

Enjoy this open!

    @ rain of lead:

    BUT – if, instead, somebody had leaked that photo to the NYT, they’d all be screaming for whistleblower status for the leaker and a Pulitzer for the NYT. For all these people know, that’s a photo of the underside of Mike Pence’s lawnmower. They wouldn’t know launch site from from a boat launch on Lake Tippicanoe.

    it’s not really a secret that we can get pics like that.

    I guarantee you that the intel community helped get that photo out. They really think Trump carries a cell phone into the daily briefs and just snaps shots of what interests him and then posts to Twitter? Puhleeze, he’s not Hillary.

    Breaking: Dozens Shot In Two Texas Towns, Authorities Say; 2 Suspects Sought

    At least 20 people have been injured by a shooter who has opened fire in Odessa, Texas, city officials told local outlets Saturday, while a second shooter was believed to be on the loose in nearby Midland.

    Odessa officials told KOSA there were 20 injuries in connection with the shooting, but authorities have not confirmed any injuries. The public is being urged to avoid Interstate 20.

    One suspect is said to be driving a gold vehicle from Odessa to Midland and is armed with a rifle, NewsWest9 said. A second suspect is believed to be driving a U.S. Postal Service van.

    Odessa Police Department released a statement and said there are possibly two subjects “driving around Odessa shooting at random people.”

    “At this time there are multiple gunshot victims. The suspect just hijacked a U.S. mail carrier truck and was last seen in the area of 38th and Walnut. Everyone is encouraged to get off the road and use extreme caution! All law enforcement is currently searching for the suspect and more information will be released as soon as it becomes available,” the department said.

    In an interview published Wednesday at Metro News, actor Michael Shannon said that it’s time for Trump voters to die, especially older voters.

    “There’s a lot of old people who need to realize they’ve had a nice life, and it’s time for them to move on. Because they’re the ones who go out and vote for these a**holes,” he said. “If you look at the young people, between 18 and 25, if it was up to them Hillary would have been president. No offense to the seniors out there. My mom’s a senior citizen. But if you’re voting for Trump, it’s time for the urn.”

    “My parents voted for Trump and I’m still not sure how to talk to them about that,” the Metro News interviewer said.

    “F— ’em,” Shannon said. “You’re an orphan now. Don’t go home. Don’t go home for Thanksgiving or Christmas. Don’t talk to them at all. Silence speaks volumes.”

    NYC is running out of fuel. Because Cuomo blocked a pipeline, but of course he’s blaming everybody else

    ———

    The utility has stopped taking new gas customers in parts of Long Island, Brooklyn and Queens where it can’t handle the new demand — because Team Cuomo vetoed the proposed Williams pipeline to bring in supplies from New Jersey. (Jersey is also blocking the pipeline, since Gov. Phil Murphy is appeasing the same green extremists.)

    National Grid gave months of warning that it would need to impose the moratorium if fresh supplies weren’t ensured.

    Remarks Against Antifa Prompt FBI Seizure Of Former Marine’s Weapons Under Oregon’s ‘Red Flag’ Law

    A former Marine who said at a protest that he would “slaughter” Antifa members in self-defense, if attacked, recently had his five weapons confiscated by the FBI, according to reports.

    The temporary seizure came through the use of Oregon’s “red flag” law, which allows law enforcement agencies and family members to seek a court order to have weapons taken away from an individual viewed as potentially violent. Such laws are often opposed by supporters of Second Amendment gun rights.

    The former Marine, Shane Kohfield, 32, was not charged with any crime, but surrendered five guns, including an AR-15 rifle, according to Phil Lemman, Oregon’s acting deputy state court administrator, the Washington Examiner reported.

    I see that law enforcement is refusing to release the name of the Odessa shooter in order to not give him any notoriety.

    my guess is he wasn’t law abiding and the gun was illegal. Also, and don’t under-value this – it’s a holiday weekend. These guys are doing the same thing everybody else is doing – schlepping their college kids back to campus – getting the kids still at home ready for start of school year – this is cultural down time. And beer and burgers on the deck w/whoever finds them tolerable

    The left has politicized the weather.

    Too late.

    @ Bunk X:
    And no one still knows if this beast makes landfall on conus yet , but we are expected to believe in global warming.

    If they can’t predict where a a cat5 hurricane approx 100 miles off the coast of Florida will land, why believe anything the meteorologists predict?

    @ Bunk X:
    the Caribbean—huricanes

    California–earthquakes, mudslides, and wildfires

    The Plains–tornadoes

    My AO–floods, tornadoes and a shit ton of snow

    every area has their own dangers.

    i had the weather channel on all day just outside the triage office. 12 hours.

    not once did they say that ‘fortunately, this hurricane looks like it’s going to make a right hand turn and not be the destructive monster it has the potential to be’.

    not once.

    they kept reporting the absolute worst outcomes as if praying for death.

    the press WANTS a katrina. and that is sick

    @ Calo:
    It already hit land. Now it’s hit ocean again. You guys are parsing.

    Don’t harsh my mellow. I just drove a mile for 3 cheeseburgers and a small order of fries.

    @ Bunk X:
    Did you at least get a shake to go with the fries and burger?

    I said the meteorologists can’t decide if this hurricane lands on conus; the continental United States. Not that it didn’t interact with the Bahamaian Islands today.
